Life may look good on the outside—thriving in your career, traveling, buying a home, checking off those educational goals—but when it comes to close relationships, things feel a bit like trying to dance with two left feet, right? I specialize in working with resilient, high-achieving individuals who carry the weight of childhood family dysfunction, emotional neglect, and trauma, often without missing a beat…except in those close connections (insert a lonnnng, deep sigh and the crying emoji, here).

Together, we’ll begin transforming emotional wounds into emotional self-mastery. Through a creative blend of CBT, Transpersonal, and Jungian therapies, along with a splash of humor and realness, I’ll guide you as you develop essential skills for self-regulation. We’ll tackle self-awareness, assertiveness, boundary setting, and more to help you thrive.

Your experiences are real, and they matter. Whether your struggles began recently or reach back to the distant past, I’m here to support you with empathy and authenticity. I’m a therapist who believes in walking the talk—I have my own therapist, too! Together, we’ll uncover your best, most balanced self. Ready to begin? Reach out—I’ve got your back!

Groups

Mental Health Monarchs: Psychotherapy Tune-Ups

Hosted by

Jerusalem Brown

This group addresses the need for ongoing emotional and mental support beyond traditional psychotherapy. People often struggle to maintain the progress achieved during therapy sessions (especially if loved-ones have not taken advantage of psychotherapy) and may revert to old reactions if relationship dynamics remain the same. At times, these challenges can make you feel as though you've lost all the growth you've obtained. Mental Health Monarchs helps bridge the gap between psychotherapy and everyday life by offering ongoing support and resources for improved interpersonal interactions and emotional self-mastery.

Creative Liberation

Hosted by

Jerusalem Brown

Group Therapy for Mental Wellness is a virtual expressive arts group for adults ready to process emotions through creativity, reflection, and connection. This group supports deep feelers, high achievers, and those healing from emotional burnout, people-pleasing, or childhood wounds. We use art-based prompts—like journaling, collage, poetry, and symbolism—to explore themes of identity, boundaries, self-worth, and emotional clarity. No artistic skill is needed—just curiosity and a desire to slow down and feel. This is not about performance—it’s about liberation. Let your creativity speak where words fall short.
